Right, so do you remember the post I made last year just as Gothic 3 got published?
Do you remember how excited I was about the new "episode"?
Well guess what, the game sucks big time! Why? Well for one simple fact, the game is buggy as hell.
When I bought the game, I only had a laptop, quite a powerfull one. I had a very hard time trying to get the game to run smoothly. In the end I decided to shelf it until I bought a new PC.
About 2 months ago I bought a new PC, Dell Dimension 9200, 2GB Ram, Geforce 7800 GS, Intel Duo Core 2 2.8Ghz, etc. So I decided I will try out Gothic 3 again.
Guess what? The game is still a bitch to run. After spending lots of time on forums to find out what values to tweak etc. in the INI files, the game was still sluggish.
So I finally decided that no matter how much I tweak it, it still sucks! As far as the game it self, ala game content, story etc. it is still very good, but the technicallities of just trying to play it got me down.
In the end I opted out for Oblivion which is truly an amazing game.
